DEPOSIT, NY — December 14 — At a reported house fire, the Deposit Fire Department received early morning mutual aid from the Masonville Volunteer Fire Department, located at 15488 State Highway 8. A four-person team from Masonville apparatus 2014 responded. Firefighters were tasked with providing inside support as soon as they arrived, uncovering hidden areas to look for fire and finishing a thorough sweep. By doing this, the likelihood of rekindling was decreased and extinguishment was confirmed.

For search, overhaul, and safety tasks, overnight building fires frequently call for additional personnel. To finish tasks and keep scene control, crews worked in tandem with on-site companies. Responders did not report any injuries. Masonville units were liberated and put back into service following the conclusion of operations. Regular interdepartmental coordination and preparedness during midnight occurrences were evident in the reaction.
